Gordon's Time

There is no doubt that this season has been one of the best Jeff Gordon has had in a long time, already scoring three wins heading into the third race of the chase. In the past few races Gordon has returned to his stealth mode that we saw him in earlier this season, not making a lot of noise but being there at the end.

This worked for him during the regular season, but now, it is playoff time and we should all be ready for “The Gordon Show”. There has been no lack of momentum on the 24 team and they show no signs of fading any time soon. In fact, these final ten races could be the hottest we have ever seen from Gordon. Many know that Gordon’s years in the cup series are numbered, and with an ailing back, many believe Gordon himself realizes that this may be one of his final chances to claim a fifth championship.

Gordon’s “Drive for Five” has been going on since his last championship thirteen years ago in 2001, and it has now been almost 20 years since his first cup title. There is no other driver that wants another championship as bad as Gordon; it just comes down to his ability to keep up his good luck. We will see very soon.
